Abstract (en)

The invention provides a power distribution system (10) for a DC network, the DC network comprising electrical loads (5), the power distribution system (10) being preferably boarded on an aircraft (11) and comprising: a plurality of AC/DC converters (3), and at least one AC power source (1, 2); wherein the power distribution system (10) comprises: an "n" number of AC/DC converters (3), comprising each one an "(n-1)" number of first outputs (3.1) and at least an additional output (3.2), and an "(n-1)-n" number of electrical loads (5), wherein each electrical load (5) comprises two inputs: a first input (5.1) for being connected with a corresponding first output (3.1), and a second input (5.2) for being connected with any of the additional outputs (3.2); wherein the power distribution system (10) is configured to continue supplying electrical power to the DC network in case of an AC/DC converter (3) is not energized, such that the second input (5.2) of such electrical load (5) is connected to any additional output (3.2) of another AC/DC converter (3), the first input (5.1) being disconnected.
